Municipal Management Districts

ABHR attorneys have been instrumental in development of the legal practice relating to municipal management districts (MMDs), and have participated in the creation and representation of a dynamic group of MMDs throughout the state.

MMDs were originally used as an extension of city government to allow taxpayers to beautify their communities and improve local economic conditions.

 

ABHR lawyers have worked to expand the role of MMDs to be used in three distinct contexts: to support existing major activity centers, to promote neighborhood revitalization, and to support raw land development.

 

ABHR’s representation of some of the initial management districts, such as Uptown and the Energy Corridor, supported success in major activity centers with practical neighborhood improvements. Our attorneys have skillfully expanded the role of MMDs in Texas,  and many of the more recently created municipal management districts are intended to provide infrastructure needed to serve raw land, mixed-use development.  In this manner, an MMD can act as a municipal utility district (MUD) to construct, finance and operate water, sewer, retainage, road and park improvements. As development progresses, the MMD can then provide many of the supplemental services and improvements of a traditional MMD.

ABHR attorneys have participated in creating MMDs, both legislatively and through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the state agency that regulates the activities of MMDs. ABHR has extensive experience securing approvals from municipalities and negotiating development agreements. Our attorneys serve as general counsel, helping to oversee the day-to-day operations and legal issues facing an MMD. ABHR attorneys have also served as bond counsel to MMDs in the issuance of tax-exempt unlimited tax bonds.
